Read the sentence. The fake, counterfeit money, which isn't valid, was discovered in the crime investigation. What is the best way to revise this sentence to eliminate wordiness?

“Fake,” “counterfeit,” and “isn’t valid” repeat the same idea, so the sentence can be shortened by keeping just one of them. Choice C removes the redundant words while preserving the important information: the counterfeit money was discovered during the investigation. The other choices retain unnecessary wording or change the sentence awkwardly.
